The Hammer Arson Low Flare Solid is the newest entry into Hammer’s mid-performance price point. This ball uses the Modified Arson weight block that is identical to the core found in the original Arson Low Flare. Also like the original, the ball is stamped with the “Tournament Differential” logo, a reminder of what makes the Low Flare line unique. While this ball offers a smooth transition from front to back, it is not as early or as smooth as the Burgundy Hammer from a few months ago.

This ball was best for us on our medium test pattern. The new Max-Control Solid coverstock gave us more total hook and more motion at the back

Bowling This Month Subscriber Testimonials

"I have been bowling since I was 5 years old. I'm now 31 and bowl in a competitive league and sport a 220 average. I've been a loyal and dedicated reader of BTM for many years. It's my go-to source for information about skills, strategies, and, most importantly, ball reviews. I fancy myself pretty well-versed in the world of bowling, but each month there's always something new that I learn. The authors are also very articulate and very accessible. Tremendous compliment to Phil Regan. I left a comment on his article and he emailed me! I was able to ask him some questions and he was very appreciative and helpful. I can say more about BTM if given the chance. I would surely run out of space in this box. I love BTM and always will."
